Chapter 34: Q4Q (page 1037)

A penguin waddles along the central axis of a concave mirror, from the focal point to an effectively infinite distance. (a) How does its image move? (b) Does the height of its image increase continuously, decrease continuously, or change in some more complicated manner?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The penguin鈥檚 image moves from infinity to the focal point.

(b) The height of the penguin鈥檚 image decreases continuously.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

A penguin waddles along the central axis of a concave mirror from the focal point to an effectively infinite distance.

02

Understanding the concept of optical image

Using the characteristics of the image formed due to a concave mirror when an object is placed at a focal point and an infinite distance from the focal point, we can answer the above questions.

03

(a) Calculation of the reason of movement of the image

The penguin鈥檚 image moves from infinity to the focal point since it waddles along the central axis of a concave mirror, from the focal point to an effectively infinite distance.

04

(b) Calculation of the change in height of the image

The height of the penguin鈥檚 image decreases continuously since it waddles along the central axis of a concave mirror, from the focal point to an effectively infinite distance.

When a T. rex pursues a jeep in the movie Jurassic Park, we see a reflected image of the T. rex via a side-view mirror, on which is printed the (then darkly humorous) warning: 鈥淥bjects in mirror are closer than they appear.鈥� Is the mirror flat, convex, or concave?

Prove that if a plane mirror is rotated through an angle a, the reflected beam is rotated through an angle 2伪. Show that this result is reasonable for 伪=45鈭�.

An object is 20cmto the left of a thin diverging lens that has a 30cmfocal length. (a) What is the image distance i? (b) Draw a ray diagram showing the image position.

a real inverted imageof an object is formed by a particular lens (not shown); the object鈥搃mage separation is, measured along the central axis of the lens. The image is just half the size of the object. (a) What kind of lens must be used to produce this image? (b) How far from the object must the lens be placed? (c) What is the focal length of the lens?

(a) A luminous point is moving at speedV0toward a spherical mirror with a radius of curvaturer, along the central axis of the mirror. Show that the image of this point is moving at the speed

vI=-(r2p-r)2v0

Where,p is the distance of the luminous point from the mirror at any given time. Now assume the mirror is concave, withr=15cm.and letV0=5cm/s. FindV1when (b)p=30cm(far outside the focal point), (c) p=8.0cm(just outside the focal point), and (d)p=10mm(very near the mirror).
